A study conducted at a private Peruvian university investigated academic dishonesty, confirming it as a persistent, multidimensional issue within higher education. Using a quantitative, non-experimental design with 333 participants, the research identified a robust two-dimensional structure of academic dishonesty, which compromises learning quality, evaluative equity, and students' ethical development.
Why it matters
Understanding the multidimensional nature of academic dishonesty is crucial for institutions to develop effective strategies for upholding educational integrity. It directly impacts the perceived value of academic qualifications and the ethical development of future professionals, which is vital for societal trust and progress.
Key insights
- Academic dishonesty is a persistent and multidimensional problem in higher education.
- It negatively impacts the quality of learning, evaluative equity, and students' ethical development.
- The study confirmed a robust two-dimensional structure for academic dishonesty among university students.
- A 23-item Likert scale was adapted and employed for data collection from 333 participants.
- Reliability was assessed using Cronbach's α and McDonald's ω, and construct validity using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, correlations, and ANOVA.
